"Australia rested Mike Hussey as well because they wanted to keep him fresh."

"Now that we have started rotating our players it is a good sign because we know that we've got a lot of playing strength and someone like Rohit (Sharma) or (Suresh) Raina, it gives them an extra opportunity."

"It is important to rotate everyone, there is a long way to go in the series, there are five games left."

"It is a team game and I totally back that rotation policy."

Gambhir praised the emergence of young paceman Umesh Yadav, who picked up two important wickets on Sunday to continue the impressive form he showed during the one-sided Test series.

"Umesh for me is the find of the tour, someone who can clock 150 consistently," he said.

"We can start giving back to the opposition what we have been receiving for years and years."

"Someone who can hit the deck hard, and hit 150-plus consistently, can rattle any batsman in the world."

"He is someone who should play for India for a long time and develop as a world-class bowler."
